~WILL THE POOL BE READY BY AUGUST, MR. BRADY? § Keep Vigil On Lake Pollution A constant vigil must be kept by health officials on the city- sponsored swimming area at the lake to guard against possible pollution. In the summer of 1959 the area was closed after water tests showed the bacteria count to be well above the accepted level. Samples are taken regularly from various places along the waterfront and are sent to the provincial lab at Peterborough for testing. = * Living microscopic animals called colliforms are the objects of the tests. One species, E. Colli, indicate animai or human in- testinal pollution. The accepted safe level for swimming in na- tural water is 1000 bacteria in a . & The Oshawa Times PAGE NINE [SECOND SECTION CHILDREN'S DILEMMA 12,000 Want To Swim Question Is Where? guides, and cubs and their friends committee) optimistically report- the weekly attendance averaged -- if they can- get there. eC the new pool under construc-/over 3500 swimmers.

Because of the late de- lay in starting construction of the pool, much swimming time will be lost this summer, Top picture shows early construc- tion of the pool, which is to be located almost in the centre of what was the beautiful Rotary Park, a mecca for nearby resi- dents, especially on hot days.

The most recent test received indicates the lake is still quite safe, However last summer the counts in some areas ran as high as 240,000 bacteria in the above volume. That is the level at which the laboratories stop counting. Dr. Ted Watt, supervisor of environmental sanitation for Osh- awa, said swimming would be cut off if the counts were consistent-| ly over 150,000.

Gifford told the Oshawa Times the children should be educated to take ade vantage of the private pools be- cause the new pool will not ac- commodate all the children. He said he hoped they would take advantage of Camp Samac. He also said arrangements have been made with the Somerset Pool to have the city fill it with water. However the Samac pool is not a public pool and is fully utilized by Scouts and Guides of the area. Another problem regarding Samac is that city buses only run to Pleasure Valley and the children are forced to walk along busy Simcoe St. N. the rest of the way to the pool -- on the side of the road since there are no sidewalks. The PUC has applied to the On- tario Board of Transport Com. issi s for a temporary per- mit to extend its run to the Camp Samac gate. Since it is outside the city limits and another bus company has a franchise for that area a public hearing must be called before permission can be granted. The other alternative for swim- ming is Lake Ontario. The swim. ming area. borders the harbor opening into which pours the pol. luted waters of the Oshawa Creek.

"In Oshawa, today, 40 cents of every tax dol- lar go for education." City treasurer Harold Tripp said the city levied for $2,812,000 and hoped for grants totalling $1,206,000 in an attempt to meet this city's 196C education bill.
